Step 4: When the folder is successfully downloaded to the location specified on your computer, unzip it.
Step 5: Access your new Box account (https://box.com) in a new browser window/tab.
Step 6: In this Box account, you can drag the contents of the downloaded folder into the Box interface, or you can click "File" or "Folder" to manually select the files or folders and upload them.
